School based apprenticeships and traineeships are now available in Central Coast public high schools through CITE

Students can enrol in a wide variety of apprenticeships and traineeships, learning from their employers while working one or two days a week on the job and studying toward an HSC and trade certificate in school.

This is great news for the Central Coast's young people as it means that they can:
•    continue at a trade training school and get their HSC
•    continue to work towards Certificate III in their chosen trade
•    develop a wide range of skills and abilities to improve their employability
•    develop the attitude and attendance that business tells us they want in young employees

The CITEs will deliver formal education and training over 3 or 4 days a week, leaving 1 or 2 days for involvement in structured workplace learning. It is anticipated that courses will be adjusted to meet the needs of learners, focusing on literacy, numeracy and communication.

Trade training will initially be delivered by qualified teachers, with further involvement by TAFE staff.
